What did I learn about Jesus? Jesus is looking for faith—in the persistent pray-er, in the beggar, and in us. His message continues to be about the “kingdom of God” and its coming to earth (verses 17, 29-30). What did I learn about disciple-making? Disciple-making is not for the proud but for the humble (verses […]
Humbled

Luke 14
What did I learn about Jesus? Jesus does significant ministry around meals. Jesus challenges me to invite the lowly to my table and to take the lowest place. What did I learn about disciple-making? There is a high cost to discipleship—likened to the cost of building or going to war (verses 28-33). Expect to learn/teach […]
